“My project involved moving a laundry from the basement to a small upstairs mud room. I went to the appliance store and measured the new dryer vent and then of course the only location possible for the dryer was going to hit a wall stud. It was about this time I stumbled on an ad for mag vent. After researching it I decided to give it a try. I offset the vent about an inch and waited for the dryer to be delivered. The installer of 22 years wondered what it was. After explaining to him to clamp the vent to the dryer and just slide it into place. I think every dryer should be equipped with a MagVent if for no other reason than it enables one to slide the dryer out for cleaning lint buildup and then slide back. Easy 10 min job.”

“The MagVent part was shipped promptly and delivered in great shape. I think the packaging was very well thought out. The installation was super easy and I can't imagine needing to replace it for the life of the house. It will make cleaning the vent so much easier now that I am not dealing with the clamps and the old semi rigid vents.”

There are many ways that improperly maintained dryer vents may have a negative effect on you and your family. A clogged or clamped off dryer vent hose is a perfect host to mold growth which can lead to an array of respiratory illnesses. Molds can cause a variety of symptoms, such as nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, eye irritation, wheezing and coughing, and possibly skin irritations as well. A properly maintenanced dryer vent can prevent mold growth in your laundry room. A MagVent product such as the MV-90, MV-180, or the MV-Flex, can reduce humidity levels by providing a proper ventilation system that is super easy to clean and maintain. The magnets allow a much easier cleaning process than your traditional dryer vent system. A MagVent product, a properly designed duct system, and routine cleaning are the solutions to boost dryer efficiency, decrease mold accumilation, and save energy and space!
